About Sherry
Sherry Rantz is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas with 28 years of experience. She has worked in independent practice, social service agencies, schools, and as a teacher. She meets people where they are and focuses on respectful, compassionate care.
She helps with common life problems like anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and transitions. She also works with issues related to LGBT identity, autism and Asperger syndrome, parenting, and family conflicts.
Background and approach
Sherry tailors sessions to each person’s needs and leans on practical tools to address daily struggles. Short-term goals and step-by-step plans are used when they fit the situation. Her approach includes methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered work.
She brings these tools to conversations about self-esteem, anger, sleep, and career concerns. Therapy can include talking through feelings, learning new ways to cope, and building clearer communication patterns. Sherry has a long history helping people manage panic, phobias, and social anxiety, as well as issues like guilt, shame, and multicultural stress.
She emphasizes strengths and encourages gradual change. Parents who are worried about family dynamics or parenting challenges will find a straightforward, steady style. Sessions are offered in English and are structured around each person’s goals.
Sherry guides clients through steps to try new strategies and notice what helps. She supports people as they move toward a more stable, manageable daily life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching simple ways to accept difficult feelings while moving toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers clear strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room and uses empathy and listening to help people find their own answers and build self-worth.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and needs and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made along the way based on what helps most.
Online therapy via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules. These options allow for regular check-ins, coping skill practice between sessions, and quick check-ins when concerns arise. The range of formats offers flexibility so clients can pick what works best for their daily life.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
